The Wolfe Tones — St. Patricks Day

(Chorus) Saint Patrick's day For the shamrock make way For the green, white and gold And the harp, bright and old With the great marching bands Playing songs of Ireland And the bright Irish eyes Singing out to the skies Where the Irish are seen There'll be pride in the green In Boston, New York In Dublin and in Cork For Saint Patrick's day Is Ireland's greatest day So let's say "Hip, hooray!" For Saint Patrick's day In New York, they'll be marching The greatest to be seen Pipers, there'll be piping The orange, white and green The Irish will remember And dance the world around In London and in Glasgow And down in Melbourne Town Oh, girls and boys from Dublin Sing out those Irish songs Rebels all from Donegal Sing Ireland's rights and wrongs In Boston and Chicago We'll dance to jigs and reels And sing the songs of Ireland And of it's four green fields (Chorus) Saint Patrick's day For the shamrock make way For the green, white and gold And the harp, bright and old With the great marching bands Playing songs of Ireland And the bright Irish eyes Singing out to the skies Where the Irish are seen There'll be pride in the green In Boston, New York In Dublin and in Cork For Saint Patrick's day Is Ireland's greatest day So let's say "Hip, hooray!" For Saint Patrick's day Saint Patrick was a gentleman Who came to Ireland's sod He banished all the serpents Away from Irish bogs Some people say the devil Was on Killarney's shore So he never went to Kerry Or so the story goes He travelled out to Ulster To Connacht and the West And he went to royal Tara And the King himself he blessed To all the friends of Ireland Who live the world around Who want to share the day with us A welcome's to be found (Chorus) Saint Patrick's day For the shamrock make way For the green, white and gold And the harp, bright and old With the great marching bands Playing songs of Ireland And the bright Irish eyes Singing out to the skies Where the Irish are seen There'll be pride in the green In Boston, New York In Dublin and in Cork For Saint Patrick's day Is Ireland's greatest day So let's say "Hip, hooray!" For Saint Patrick's day So let's say "Hip, hooray!" For Saint Patrick's day
